KJV
King James Version
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
We have heard with our ears, O God ,
our fathers have told us ,
what
work thou
didst
in their days, in the times
of old.
For
the
choirmaster.
A
Maskil
of
the
sons
of
Korah.
We have heard with our ears, O God ;
our fathers have told us the
work You
did
in their days, in the days
of old.
How
thou
didst
drive
out
the
heathen
with thy
hand ,
and plantedst
them
; how
thou
didst
afflict
the people,
and cast them out.
With Your
hand You
drove
out
the
nations
and planted
our
fathers
there
; You
crushed
the peoples
and cast them out.
For they
got
not the
land
in
possession
by their own
sword ,
neither
did
their own
arm save
them :
but
thy
right hand, and
thine
arm, and the light of thy
countenance
, because thou
hadst
a
favour
unto
them.
For it
was
not by their sword that
they
took
the
land;
their arm did
not
bring
them victory.
It
was
by
Your
right hand, Your
arm, and the light of Your
face
, because You
favored
them.
Thou
art
my King, O God :
command
deliverances
for Jacob.
You
are
my King, O God ,
who
ordains
victories
for Jacob.
Through thee
will
we push
down
our enemies:
through thy
name will
we tread
them
under
that
rise
up
against
us
.
Through You
we repel
our foes;
through Your
name we trample
our
enemies
.
For I will
not trust in my bow, neither
shall
my sword save me.
For I do
not trust in my bow, nor
does
my sword save me.
But
thou
hast
saved
us from our enemies ,
and
hast
put them
to shame that
hated
us
.
For
You
save
us from our enemies ;
You
put those
who
hate
us
to shame.
In God we boast
all the
day long, and praise
thy
name for
ever
. Selah .
In God we have
boasted
all day long, and Your
name we
will
praise
forever
. Selah
But thou
hast
cast
off,
and put
us to
shame
; and
goest
not
forth with our armies.
But You
have
rejected
and humbled
us; You
no
longer
go
forth with our armies.
Thou
makest
us to
turn
back
from the enemy:
and they
which
hate us spoil
for
themselves
.
You
have
made
us retreat
from the foe,
and those
who
hate us have
plundered
us
.
Thou
hast
given us like
sheep appointed
for
meat
; and
hast
scattered us among the heathen
.
You
have
given us up
as
sheep to
be
devoured
; You
have
scattered us among the nations
.
Thou
sellest
thy
people for nought,
and
dost
not
increase
thy
wealth
by
their price
.
You
sell
Your
people for nothing;
no
profit
do
You
gain
from
their sale
.
Thou
makest
us a reproach to our neighbours
, a scorn
and a
derision to them
that
are
round
about
us.
You
have
made
us a reproach to our neighbors
, a mockery
and derision to those
around
us.
Thou
makest
us a byword among the heathen
, a shaking
of
the
head
among the people
.
You
have
made
us a byword among the nations
, a laughingstock
among the peoples
.
My confusion
is continually
before me, and the
shame of
my face hath
covered
me
,
All
day
long
my disgrace
is before me, and shame has
covered
my face,
For
the voice of him
that
reproacheth
and blasphemeth;
by
reason
of the enemy and
avenger
.
at
the voice of the
scorner
and reviler,
because
of the enemy ,
bent
on
revenge
.
All this is
come upon us ;
yet
have
we not forgotten thee,
neither
have
we
dealt
falsely
in
thy
covenant.
All this has
come upon us ,
though
we have
not forgotten You
or
betrayed
Your
covenant.
Our heart
is
not turned back ,
neither
have
our steps declined
from thy
way;
Our hearts
have
not turned back ;
our steps have
not
strayed
from Your
path.
Though
thou
hast
sore
broken
us in the place
of dragons,
and
covered us with the
shadow
of
death
.
But
You
have
crushed
us in the lair
of jackals;
You
have
covered us with deepest
darkness
.
If we have
forgotten the name of our God ,
or stretched
out our hands to a strange
god ;
If we had
forgotten the name of our God or spread
out our hands to a foreign
god ,
Shall
not God search
this
out?
for
he knoweth
the secrets of the heart .
would
not God have
discovered,
since
He knows
the secrets of the heart ?
Yea,
for thy
sake are
we killed
all the
day long; we are counted
as sheep for
the
slaughter
.
Yet
for Your
sake we face
death
all day long; we are considered
as sheep to
be
slaughtered
.
Awake,
why
sleepest
thou
, O Lord? arise ,
cast
us
not off
for
ever
.
Wake
up
, O Lord !
Why
are
You
sleeping
? Arise !
Do
not reject
us
forever
.
Wherefore
hidest
thou
thy
face ,
and forgettest
our affliction and our
oppression?
Why
do
You
hide
Your
face and forget
our affliction and oppression?
For our soul is
bowed
down
to the dust :
our belly
cleaveth
unto
the earth.
For our soul has
sunk
to the dust ;
our bodies
cling
to
the earth.
Arise
for
our help ,
and
redeem us for
thy
mercies'
sake
.
Rise
up;
be
our help !
Redeem us on
account
of
Your
loving
devotion
.
